[comp.sys.ibm.pc] image processing sytems ?

kiely@lownlab.UUCP (02/18/87)

I am interested in acquiring an image processing system to
be used for fluorescence microscopy.  Currently under consideration
are systems from Recognition Technology, Imaging Technology,
Data Translation, and Datacube.  Great speed is not necessary
for this application.  While cost of the system is a major factor,
a system which can be used as-is will end up costing less than one
that requires a great deal of software development.

Does anyone have any experience with any of these systems?
Would anyone care to recommend a different system?
Can anyone rationalize the fact that the Recognition Technology system
costs three times that of the Data Translation system and the Imaging
Technology system costs twice as much as the Data Translation system?

Please send responses directly to me via e-mail.  Thanks.
